turbodave Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I searched, and found this link: http://www.stephen.hull.btinternet.co.uk/nonmetallic.html which tells me it is one of two poo-browns, but am still none the wiser if it is russet or rowan? Here is a picture of it. Admittedly it is faded and this is before it got T-cut'd, but hopefully someone can identify which of the two it is... http://www.davecoxon.co.uk/Baltimore/DC_110_3.JPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godlykepower Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Hmmm, that looks like a 1986 model? Both Russet & Rowan brown were only used up until 1985. My guess would be that it is Rowan brown though, as even though you said it is very much faded, I cant imagine that bodywork coming up to Russet brown standards (which I think is lovely) with any amount of T-Cut. This is what a restored Series 3 looks like in Russet brown. B) Gorgeous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Hmmm, that looks like an early 110 to me Martin, about 1982 going by the number plate. Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 that 110 is wearing a very faded Rowan Brown & another photo of a shinier 110 in the same colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godlykepower Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Hmmm, that looks like an early 110 to me Martin, about 1982 going by the number plate. HA!! Your right of course Mo! I was being a bit of a plonker.....i didnt read the 'Y' at the end of the reg plate.....I was trying to make out the first letter which has been partly erased. It looks like a 'D' which would make it a 1986 model, but a 'Y' would indeed be an '82. I guess I should stick to running a coffee shop for a living, as detective work looks out for me! I make a great Cappuccino BTW! As Ralph is the Oracle when it comes to these things, and he confirmed that it IS indeed Rowan Brown, can I have some points back for getting in first though?! C'mon, I dont get things like this right before anyone else very often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes all the opinion out of it.. Best regards. Howard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grnrvrs Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Dave, It is Rowan Brown, same as my 83 110. Initially I disliked the color, but it has grown on me particularly when it's out and about in the bush. It is so much more fitting out among the dirt and brush than in town. -Paul I searched, and found this link:http://www.stephen.hull.btinternet.co.uk/nonmetallic.html which tells me it is one of two poo-browns, but am still none the wiser if it is russet or rowan?
